rarely attack the trees unless starved
to it. An experienced writer in q
Southern paper says: 81 deem it best
to keep hogs or pigs in the orchard the
whole year, except at gathering time. |
They keep down tho rampant growth /
of weeds, being total dcsiroyors of
wild carrots and wild parsnip. the root |
Of which is very poisonous to cows. /
but hogs are very fond OF IT, They |
also rid the orchard Of rabbits, snakes |
aud ground hogs, and, finally, what
better way can you find T. distribute
their manure?' ?'-B0st0H Globe.
